it's interesting that i don't see as much comment on the shooting of the volunteer firemen earlier today as we saw for the shooting at the school in connecticut.
it's just as horrible an event.
how terrible that these volunteers who got out of bed to fight a fire, dangerous enough, were used as targets by some nut with an assault weapon.
Freedom of speech does not mean that we are immune from the consequences of our statements, just that the government is not involved. when an intoxicated Jimmy the Greek made some racial statements on camera, years ago, his career was over.
None of us have the right to not be offended.
actor jack klugman dead at 90http://au.news.yahoo.com/entertainment/a/-/entertainment/15709372/actor-jack-klugman-dead-at-90/.
sadly another actor has gone, sadly missed.
Sad. As a kid I thought he was such a slob. In todays perspective he didnt seem so bad.
hi, i've been lurking here for several years and i finally registered.
first i would like to thank the hosts and members for all you do.. .
i'll just give a breif history, i'm a single male mid 40's living in the southeast us.
Welcome, from one of the boards most active posters. :-)
just wondering.
i feel a little smugness from long time posters.
i got out as a kid 20 years ago and since i am a newbie here it feels like we are shown a little less respect.
Like any board more time + more posts = more credibility.
our daughter's school is having a blood drive today and me and mrs. babycheezits thought about signing up.
it's been on my bucket list i just haven't done it yet.. .
just curious if many members of jwn have donated?.
Been donating for a few years. as long as I'm hydrated its no big deal.
lately I've been doing the double red donation which involves seperating the red blood from the white, returning the white, and repeating the process. It takes longer but requires twice the recovery time before I can donate again.
just recently the org has changed the literature distribution to the congregation members.. the changes are:.
1) publishers are to pick-up their mag's weekly in preparation for what they think they will use that week.
2) group conductors shall now distribute the study article of the wt, and the km.. wonder why they have changed this?.
Aren't they worried about bloodguilt when spiritually weak ones are unable to partake of the fine provision of spiritual food, provided at the proper time, and as a result become bird food? :/
i was baptized in 1986.. 2 generation changes..
My weight.
christian lopez is the feel-good story of derek jeter's 3,000th hit.
the 23-year old yankee fan caught jeter's home run, and historic 3,000th hit, saturday in the left-field bleachers at yankee stadium.
the former college football player could have held on to the ball and sold it to the highest bidder.
Christian Lopez is the feel-good story of Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit. The 23-year old Yankee fan caught Jeter's home run, and historic 3,000th hit, Saturday in the left-field bleachers at Yankee Stadium. The former college football player could have held on to the ball and sold it to the highest bidder. Instead, he handed it over to Jeter and the Yankees. Lopez' generosity surprised many fans and TV/radio hosts who've been debating it ever since. The Yankees rewarded him with a personal meeting with Jeter.
What would you do? Is this even a moral or ethical decision?
i got my grades today.
i ended up with a 3.57 gpa and i'm able to join phi beta kappa, which is the honnors society at my school.
not to bad for an ex jw that never graduated from high school.
Like
